Guild Wars 2

While fighting the Legendary Unbound Guardian in Bloodstone Fen, I put a heroes banner in the middle of the fight. And when he died, the banner vanished. As if it had been blown up.
I did not change maps or characters or zone anywhere.

These are great! Thanks for sharing!

Kunzaito.8169:

Not to mention that stopping by my home BL to do a quick craft or drop things off has frequently resulted in my staying a few extra minutes (or, er, hours) to defend a camp, rally to tag, or help out in some other way. With no way to communicate with your server at large (megaserver), and reduced incentive for people to “come for one thing, stay for another,” it can only hurt the awareness and use of the game mode. Really wish they would not have listened to the complainers on this one.

Just a few days ago I was waiting for a bandit boss to spawn when I thought I’d craft that sigil I wanted to swap to. So instead of waiting 2 mins to load up Rata Sum and then run back from the nearest wp, I hopped into wvw. No queue on any of the maps (I’m on Yak’s bend). I made my sigil and in that time, I saw things happening on the map so I joined up with a small group of people to help out with capping some objectives.

And naturally that was not the first time I’ve stayed in wvw because of just that.
As many have mentioned, there is no easy way of knowing when your borderland needs help since we got the megaservers.

Even on those days I have been in wvw on purpose I have had great use of the crafting stations. Because despite what some people may think, it’s not always so easy to ‘plan ahead’.

This is great, thank you very much!

Had to use the first character that I took through, to be able to start “Peer Review” and “My Friends, the Smiths”.

It is happening! Ascent to madness will be back! Thank you, thank you!
And lots of new items to collect, I can’t wait!

Wohoo! Best time in game! Can we please have the first halloween dungeon back?

We can finally jump in quaggan form again, thank you!

We actually have way fewer build possibilities now than we did before. Someone did the math somewhere and the difference is huge.

This, a thousand times this!

Why are characters moved to a default location when I log back in after crashing while zoning or swapping characters?

If I have a character parked at a specific spot, it’s there for a reason.
Should I now be afraid of zoning that character to spvp lobby or wvw?

An example is a character who were logged out at SB spawn.
Game crashed while swapping to that character and when I logged back in, I found myself just outside Divinity’s reach.

A fix for this would be great. Thank you!

I can’t progress any personal story mission (on different characters) that is in an instance.

lordkrall.7241:

I don’t really see how it is unfair though. Weapons and such haven’t been even across the board since release.

This ^

Also, could we have engineer pistol skill 3 to hit with all bullets, please?

I’m having the same issue on two different computers. I’ve tried deleting Local.dat and the Bin folder.

I start the launcher, hit login and play and then the game locks up my computers, forcing me to use my reset button…

Edit: Using -windowed mode works for now but I’m very much looking forward to a fix to this. Thanks!

So I’m not crazy! The pvp potions that I had in my bank really did disappear!
Do we have to submit a ticket to get them back? I don’t remember how many there was, though

Leetsura — well, I cannot really comment on your craziness…

I just talked to Customer Support and they suggest that you do submit a customer support ticket. If you’re not sure of the quantity, make your best estimate. Once this bug is fixed, the team hopes to be able to replace the items. Oh and the team asked if everyone could please be super patient, because until the fix is made, the replacements can’t be issued, so it’s going to take a bit of time.

Thanks for asking about this.

Thank you, Gaile!

I’ll be patient. I want you all to have time to enjoy Wintersday, too.

Happy holidays!

I have experienced something similar in the past and iirc, my solution was to find a piece of armour with four colour fields and apply the wanted colour to those, zone and then swap back to the armour I had problems with.

I hope that made sense, I’m slightly tired atm.

Getting stuck like that in waypoints is nothing new, usually an emote such as /dance will set you free again.

I’ve got two characters stuck in frostgorge sound, getting disconnected when trying to log them in.

Edit: I did a -repair but that didn’t change a thing.

Edit2: Someone in my guild suggested guesting to another server and that worked!
I still hope it’s addressed soon, though.

Edit3: Sigh… the guesting trick onle worked that one time. I can’t zone into Lornar’s pass either now.

I’ve /bug reported this in game but I figured I’d add my name to this thread.

Ashley Segovia.8276:

Hi Nezz,

I’d recommend submitting a support ticket for this particular issue as we’ll likely need to collect a bit of info from you in order to track down the cause.

Does this mean that the over one hundred times I’ve reported this problem using the crash report pop-up thingy does nothing? We still have to submit a ticket to get this issue looked at and fixed?

I just replied to another thread about this issue, not sure if crossposting is frowned upon but here goes : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Game-is-crashing-error-logs-included

I’ve been having this issue for quite a while now and I always hit the ‘report’ button.
I’ve tried -repair, deleting cache files and user.dat and redownloaded the whole game but it still happens.

These three lines seem to occur almost every time in the crash logs:

Model ‘0×00df13’: LightningSetActionPoints: destination action point ‘fxwristr’ not found on model ‘0×082239’
Model ‘0×00df13’: LightningSetActionPoints: destination action point ‘fxwristl’ not found on model ‘0×082239’
Model ‘0×082245’: Failed to resolve AimIK bone indices.

Edit: And since this last time, according to my crash logs, was crash number 100 (feels more like 500 times) since Jan 22nd, (The Origins of Madness release) I figured I’d post here.

It’s been really awful since the Escape from Lions Arch release when I crashed almost every time I zoned out of LA. Same thing happens in the so called world trains and wvw, lots of people and lots of textures to load there I guess…

It’s annoying enough during pve but it’s really gamebreaking in wvw.

I really hope there will be a solution to this soon.

—
People needing to be grouped in order to tag mobs is just bad design in a game that is all about not having to group for open world content in the first place. Seriously.

Fix it so it drops loot for everyone!

^ This. So very much this!

This sounds like when I had to have VLC open in the background to make the sound in Saints row the third work properly.

It just keeps getting worse..
I did kegbrawl and everyone was rubberbanding all over the map.
In normal pve, regardless of map, skills take everything from ½ second to 7 seconds to trigger, sucking all the fun out of playing.

I liked the fleshreaver one back then and I used it until it broke, reported it, and here we are, about a year later…

StinVec.3621:

My screenshots have always gone to “C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens” since the day the game was released. I’m not sure why yours have gone into the game folder until recently.

I also have my GW2 installed on an entirely separate hard drive from my OS, so install location doesn’t seem to affect where screenshots get stored.

edit
I use Windows 7 and was not aware of this fact, but I’ve been informed by some players that previously on Windows XP systems the screenshots would save within the game installation folder. However, this has changed to now be in line with other Windows versions to where screenshots are saved in the Documents folder.
As a possible solution to XP users, if you prefer accessing screenshots from your installation folder, you can place a shortcut within the game folder that points to your “Documents\Guild Wars2\Screens” folder, though they’d still physically be in that location.

Yes I’m using XP.

How/where did you get the information about “However, this has changed to now be in line with other Windows versions to where screenshots are saved in the Documents folder.” ?

I’ve always disliked the personal folders because of the obvious, unnessecary spreading out of files in a virus-like manner.

I understand how some people see it as handy but I’ve always preferred to have all the files related to one game in it’s own folder, instead of spread out.

I’m the only user of this machine.

the screenshot folder has been forced to C:\Documents and Settings folder and I can’t find any option to move it back to x:\game folder\screens where it should be.

And it’s aful. Could we have it resizable again, please?

I /bug reported this sometime in the past and it has gotten more and more annoying up to the point that I /bug reported it again and contacted support. Sadly, they didn’t have a quick fix so we can only hope they sort it out.

Being able to resize that window is important. Fix this please!

I just posted about this in one of those threads.
It has been easy to fix the, very very annoying, ‘I can’t see you on map’-bug before by just rejoining party but it seems to be completely random now.

Having myself showing as ‘offline’ and my location as ‘unknown’ in guild list to some of the guild members but not all…

Even after relogging via character select screen and from the ‘exit to desktop’ option.

My party can’t see my blue dot on the maps. We’ve tried all sorts of ways to team up but it just won’t work.

Guild chat works fine though.

Glad to see I’m not alone with this problem

Well, I hate to sound selfish, but I was in tears this morning. Not from frustration, not because I had to redo achievements, but because for whatever reason my DROP RATE was fixed.

They were tears of sheer joy. It was not that I was getting these stupendous fantabulous spiffy keen drops, but I was not getting NOTHING for hours on end. And I am talking NOTHING, ZILCH, ZERO. Today, yes, there were a few mobs that gave nothing, but my drop rate was, by my estimation back up to about 80 percent of things I killed gave me SOMETHING. This allowed me not only to be in the black for my game time, but to sell materials, and be back IN the game.

And for you people who are gritching about not fixing this immediately, please remember that bugs of this nature need to be looked at carefully to see why they happened, what will fix it, and what they possibly could affect once fixed. Try to give your data about the bug with a little less hyperbole. (And I say this knowing full well I am the queen of hyperbole—-the red headed old woman with a waggling cane)

Just don’t fix my drop rate back to phooey on youey. puleeeeze.

Lucky you. Feels more like 20% of mobs killed that gives loot. Not a huge change for me, that is.

It was working perfectly well up until the jan 28 patch or one of the following ones.

Again, I’m not talking about using the same button as you equip a kit with.

I’m not sure what your concerns are, I’m talking about the key to the left of 1 that is used to stow/unequip/swap weapons. That is no longer useable while ‘holding a bundle’ in the air.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Can-t-stow-kits-in-the-air-again/first#post1335757

Apart from the above, I really hope they do not change how the med kit works in pve/wvw.

In the Game Update Notes – November 15, 2012 under the Engineer section we finally got the ability to stow kits mid-air :

*All kits can be stowed in the air now.

This is no longer possible, could someone look into this, pretty please?

Edit: To clarify; It is no longer possible to use the ‘Drop bundle’ key to stow kits.

This is broken again…

My point was that I interpreted the official “Players that have already achieved map completion will retain it without having to discover these new waypoints” as “You do not have to go to that map, they should already be accessable like any other waypoint that you have already discovered”
Yet I had to go to the maps and run to the waypoints to get my 100% world completion and map completion back.
This is still a bug in my opinion and should not have been moved to this part of the forums.

It’s not a bug. They’re saying if you’ve already gotten the map completion reward for the zone, you’re not going to get the reward again for finding the new waypoint. It has nothing to do with the waypoint already being activated. Just because you choose to interpret their statement in a way they didn’t intend doesn’t make it a bug.

Just go find the waypoints. Orr is actually… enjoyable now. I even think they nerfed the mobs too much. At the ever popular shelt-pent sites, the mobs were dying so quickly I hardly got any kills. And the quest where you’re supposed to defend the NPC and keep her from dying, we were at it for over 30 minutes – the mobs couldn’t get past us to damage her. Eventually a bunch of just sat out the fights and let the mobs kill her.

Wow, you are right. I guess it took me ten times of reading it until I understood.
Boy, do I feel silly now

I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean with ‘gem shop collection A’.

I’m talking about under mini pets collections tab in your bank, the new mini has a spot there and not under mini pets (special). Therefore it should count towards the achievement.

From the patch notes:
“World Polish – Orr
General

Uncontested waypoints have been added to Cursed Shore and Straits of Devastation. Players that have already achieved map completion will retain it without having to discover these new waypoints."

But I had to go discover those new waypoints so I’d say this is a bug.

It is a part of the collection, check again.

4402 before patch. Don’t know how many I had directly after patch but after I finished daily I’m down to 4400.

Edit: That’s 17 points lower than I should have. Just like Constantine ^

VoIP ducking works perfectly for me when I use Ventrilo but I can’t get it to work at all with Teamspeak 3.

I just did Chaos Crystal Cavern on an alt who hadn’t been there before and I hadn’t done the puzzle in at least a month, only to see an open chest at the end
